A profound relational revolution is underway, not orchestrated by tech developers but driven by users themselves. Many of the 400 million weekly users of ChatGPT are seeking more than just assistance with emails or information on food safety; they are looking for emotional support.

“Therapy and companionship” have emerged as two of the most frequent applications for generative AI globally, according to the Harvard Business Review. This trend marks a significant, unplanned pivot in how people interact with technology.

    Yeah! Great to hear. Please continue to be a fixture in your neighborhood.

    As Fred Rogers told me once, in a conversation that was just between us, a friend is a person in your neighborhood.

      One thing that really lifts my mood is singing.

      I’m a reasonably decent natural baritone…

      For the longest while, I couldn’t, due to fucked up abdomen… couldn’t use my diaphragm right.

      But… thats getting better now, the PT is slow, arduous, and painful, but it is working.

      I was just in another thread posting Johnny Cash lyrics as a contrast to how shitty of a little turdboy Andrew Tate is.

      I fell in… to a burnin ring of fire… and so on, haha.
